CNC Machining Centre | Vertical & Horizontal Suppliers in Hobart

Computer numerical controlled (CNC) machine centres transform a stock piece of material into a finished product through a subtractive process. They are precision manufacturing machines that perform multiple advanced machining operations by manipulating tools around a varying number of axes. Machine centres perform specified instructions (G-code) inputted by engineers and machinists to produce a physical part from a computer design file. Automating the manufacturing process eliminates human error and reduces waste.

CNC machining centres also reduce production time by integrating multiple machine functions and can be seen as an all in one manufacturing tool. Machine centres are capable of producing high precision parts with a mirror-like surface finish by sequentially implementing drilling, milling and lathe operations. Previously, this production process was divided into individual working stages which required the operator to move the workpiece to a different machine tool at each stage. This resulted in an increased delivery time and overall production cost. 

CNC machining centres are versatile machines used across many manufacturing industries to create parts such as gearboxes, bolts, frames, partitions, tools, brackets and models from a range of materials. These include aluminium, steel, plastic, foam, wood and titanium.
